The Masterplan
Oasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves

And sail them home with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud, and sing it proud today

And then dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't
Know how it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make us understand
We're all part of the masterplan

Say it loud and sing it proud today

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things
That come our way

'Cause everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
We'll dance if they wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't
Know how it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make you understand
We're all part of the masterplan

Overall Meaning

The song "Masterplan" by Oasis can be interpreted in many ways, but at its core, it's a song about hope, perseverance, and acceptance. The lyrics urge the listener to take the time to make sense of what they want to say and to cast their words away on the waves. The image of sailing them home on a ship of hope implies that the journey may be rough, but it's worth it because the destination is a place of peace and understanding.


The song encourages us to speak our truth out loud and proudly, to dance if we want to, and to take chances. The lines "All we know is that we don't know how it's gonna be" and "Life on the other hand won't make us understand" speak to the uncertainty and unpredictability of life, but the chorus reminds us that we are all a part of a master plan that we may not fully comprehend.


Overall, "Masterplan" is a song about embracing the journey and facing the unknown with courage and optimism.


Line by Line Meaning

Take the time to make some sense
Think clearly and deeply about what you want to express


Of what you want to say
Of the message you want to send to others


And cast your words away upon the waves
Release your message into the universe without expectations


And sail them home with acquiesce
Let your message be guided by acceptance and peace


On a ship of hope today
With optimism and positivity as your vessel


And as they land upon the shore
As your words reach the people they're meant for


Tell them not to fear no more
Assure them that they don't have to be afraid anymore


Say it loud, and sing it proud today
Express your message with confidence and passion


And then dance if you wanna dance
Celebrate life in your own way


Please brother take a chance
Encourage others to take risks and live their lives fully


You know they're gonna go
Everyone has their own path to follow


Which way they wanna go
People have the freedom to make their own choices


All we know is that we don't
None of us really knows what the future holds


Know how it's gonna be
We can't predict the outcome of our lives


Please brother let it be
Accept the uncertainty of life


Life on the other hand
In contrast to our plans and expectations


Won't make us understand
Life doesn't always make sense and can't be fully comprehended


We're all part of the masterplan
We're all connected and a part of something bigger


I'm not saying right is wrong
There is no definite right or wrong in life


It's up to us to make
We have the power to shape our own lives


The best of all the things
The most out of every opportunity that comes our way


That come our way
That we encounter on our journey


'Cause everything that's been has passed
We can't change what has happened in the past


The answer's in the looking glass
The truth lies within ourselves


There's four and twenty million doors
There are countless opportunities and paths in life


On life's endless corridor
In the never-ending journey of life

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
And sail them home with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud, and sing it proud today
And then dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't
Know how it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make us understand
We're all part of the masterplan
Say it loud and sing it proud today
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things
That come our way
'cause everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
We'll dance if they wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go

Know how it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make you understand
We're all part of the masterplan

1:01 Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
1:21 And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then

Dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make us understand
We're all part of a masterplan

Say it loud and sing it proud today

[Verse 2]
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cause everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they

[Chorus 2]
Will dance if they wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand
Won't make you understand
We're all part of a masterplan

For the record (literally) I'm lucky enough to own over 2000 albums from all genres even taking in stuff that is coming out today & for my money THE greatest work of music ever made by man was "...And Then There Were Three" by Genesis! Totally different genre in being Prog Rock but a fecking amazing piece of work!

Liam's walk is hilarious in this cartoon. What makes it so funny is that it reminds you how real it is, how someone can actually walk this way on purpose, just for attitude.

@carragh244

I agree Liam's walk is ridiculous.

@darrenlamb5640

He has the archetypal dickhead walk.

@Mark_Bates

The legend Liam Walk

@kildogery

It's a Beatles/Lowry bit of class.
The animators knew what they were doing.
I'm sure Liam had a laugh and loved it.

@scottmcdonald2647

Liam got Manchester walk it's the cobbles walk of Manchester
